Reliable is the main thing. Third time we have used them across two houses and it has been the same experience every time.

Backflow Testing & Repair in Story City, Iowa
Backflow prevention keeps irrigation water, boiler water and process water from being pulled back into the drinking supply when pressure drops. Most Story City water authorities want an annual test on any device protecting a commercial building, a fire line or a lawn irrigation system.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Story City are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

Called about a gas smell near the water heater. They told me to get out of the house first and call the utility, then came and found it. Took it seriously, which I appreciated.

Water bill nearly doubled and I could not find anything wrong. They found a slab leak under the hallway with a listening device, cut one small square of flooring, and fixed it. I was braced for a lot worse.

Backflow Testing in Story City: common questions
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Annually in most Story City jurisdictions, and some commercial and fire applications more often. We keep your date on file and remind you before it lapses.
What happens if my device fails the test?
We rebuild it and retest. We carry kits for the assemblies we see most in Story City, so failures are usually resolved on the same visit rather than turning into a second appointment.
Do you file the paperwork with the water authority?
Yes. The completed report goes to the authority and a copy goes to you, so there is nothing left on your desk to chase.
Should I have my irrigation backflow tested before winter?
Test on your normal annual schedule, but do winterise the device before the first hard Iowa freeze. A cracked assembly from freezing is a far bigger bill than a test.
How much does a plumber cost in Story City?
We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
